Hello,
I am currently deciding on interior wall blocks. The options are blocks with a strength class of 10 or 12 (depending on thickness) and blocks with a strength class of 8. The latter has a slightly better U-value than those with higher strength class.
For interior walls, I think the U-value is less important, and factors like sound insulation and structural strength (we are in seismic zone 3) are more relevant. What do you think?
Have you considered this in your project, or was it not a concern for you? 🙂

Of course, professionals make mistakes—many even do. That’s why I do a lot myself.
My concern is with questions like which type of brick with what strength class to use, or things along those lines—you leave those decisions to a professional and don’t ask a layman’s forum.
These are essential matters—it’s not about the color of the walls or the flooring.
And common sense hardly helps in these cases—if it were that simple, why would there be apprenticeships or academic programs?
Those who think they know better should be the ones to come down from their high horse.
